They�re all dead now, OP. You killed them with neglect

As someone who literally just booted up an Animal Crossing GC file two weeks back and had the villagers say I hadn't been around in 140 months, they sure as hell didn't die of neglect unless those extra few years matter :v:

Nook Miles seem like they're designed for the people who complain that they don't know what to do when they play Animal Crossing. A set of tasks with clearly defined rewards. very gamey.

They're loving great for me, cause I play Animal Crossing as tryhard as I play everything else and that's a lovely little bunch of dopamine rushes all laid out for me in a row.

(I am definitely not the target market for AC but I sure as gently caress love it)

How do I cut down trees? I saw someone said something about eating fruit but my fruit meter is at 10/10 and I want to cut some unsightly not-fruit not-cedar trees.

e: oh, you need the Iron Axe? I can't spare any cause I'm short iron for the Nooklings! Should I grind miles for another island or?

So can you get the recipes from someone else's Blathers or do you need to wait for him to move in? I feel dumb for not just slapping his tent down somewhere last night now.

I assume you can't, but it might be worth a shot. Way to not grind everything out before 5 AM last night

Tender Bender posted:

Someone on Reddit said that only the "main" villager can donate to Blathers... Is that true? Kind of a bummer but I guess the other person can give the bugs to me for me to donate?

While I don't know, I do know that in local coop there's only one person that can pick up items but you can switch that person at the press of a button. Might be worth trying that to see if you can donate if you're not the "main" villager.

Question: Can I hit rocks for iron in someone else's town?

Also you can flat out shovel and replant entire trees. I took some coconut trees and extra apple trees home from the deserted island I visited, as well as some flowers. The benefit to this is you don't need to wait extra days for them to grow on your island, the only downside is it takes a fruit-energy to do. It's also helpful if you want to do landscaping on your town without straight up chopping down trees. Cheers everyone!

holy poo poo this is a game changer thank you for that I've been planting fruit like old-school ACs

Is there an upgrade that allows you to rearrange stock in your inventory? I'm going insane.

My only other gripe so far is that villager housing plots are massive despite the house being like half the size. I'm going to run out of room before I can terraform.

Hold A when the cursor is on an item. Then move it.

Sturgeon question: Anyone who used bait to spawn it, where's a good spot to toss into the "river mouth"? I don't want to waste all the bait I painstakingly farmed but I have no idea if it should be like on the little rocks, or closer to the ocean...

I believe one thing you need to do for progression is buy a bunch from Mabel when she appears in the plaza

How much? Is it number of items or Bells spent, and is there also a "days passed" component? I am more than willing to throw away my money but I gotta know what I'm aiming for.

Tell me about flowers and their subsequent effect on bug availability. I only have white, red, and orange flowers - do I need to scum islands until I get others for a full museum eventually? Something about a peacock butterfly only spawning on colors I don't have? Will the Nooklings sell different colors every day cause they sure haven't yet.

Are there really Nook Miles islands that spawn more rare fish? Not ones that spawn specific sizes only, I mean ones that actively change the fish table.

How does flower spreading work? Not necessarily hybridization even. Is it percentage chance per day per flower or is it X per day per island or something else?

Buy price is 90-110 range, and you want to sell at 500+. Honestly, it is fine to just be lazy and buy at your buy price whatever it is. You lose money not looking for a super low one, but it's way more convenient.

Now that people have spent a good amount of time with the game, whats the general consensus. Does it meet or exceed expectations and have the goons seal of approval?

Starts slow. Not really well designed for more than one human per Switch. Also, game owns and is easily the best Animal Crossing yet. Despite the warts.

So I guess my house is being judged by some mysterious organization tonight. How does that work? Who judges? Why judges?

They give points, broadly based on furniture you've got and matching sets and not having chairs crammed behind stuff and inaccessible and all that. Enough points can get you a cute trophy or something.

Nook miles question: there's some items (street light, cotton candy booth) where you can directly buy the item with miles, but not the recipe. Is the recipe available elsewhere, or is buying with miles the only way to get those?

I have heard it's buying with miles only and also that the customization up for sale doesn't change so if you want the aesthetically different ones you have to trade with another person who's got the other one in their Nook Miles store.

That said, I can't prove you can't get the recipe, etc.
